Our students are amazing. They are clever, kind and a joy to work with. They inspire, challenge and drive us as professionals to deliver the highest standards of education and care; to fill their school life with academic rigour, compassion and laughter. School is a busy and varied place of work, but as a team, we work together to reach out, find solutions and truly make a difference in the lives of young people.

These are exciting times for the Inclusion department at St Gregory’s. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant who will have the flexibility to contribute to in-class support, small group work and one to one support of students with SEND. As well as engage, inspire and encourage our young people to achieve their very best.

You do not need to have worked as a Learning Support Assistant (Teaching Assistant) before, although of course we also welcome applications from experienced professionals seeking a new career challenge.

We welcome applications from those wishing to apply for the maximum number of hours available (30.83) and also those wishing to apply on a job share basis or on reduced hours to fit around other commitments, for example dropping off or picking up children from school. We would also consider applicants who wish to work less than five days a week. However, to ensure consistency in the support we offer our students, we would request a minimum of three working days. If you would like to apply on this basis and are shortlisted, please discuss this at interview.
